Boredom


"The state of a system at a given time is described by a complex wave function," the bespectacled, curly haired, paunch bearing professor of physics continued, while the class was lost in a variety of different endeavors; Raghu throwing i-luv-u chits at the sweet young thing sitting nearby; two girls in deep conflict about which outfit to wear for tonight's party; Mohan munching on a paper bag full of freshly roasted peanuts; poetic Ravi gazing out at nature's beauty through the class window; some guys and gals in a group discussion about birds and bees and Nitin staring absently at the professor, his eyes glazed, wondering where he was.

"The Schrödinger equation describes how wavefunctions change in time, playing a role similar to Newton's second law in classical mechanics..." The boring man ranted on and on. 

Six consequences of his complicated 45 minute lecture- Rejected Raghu, now in deep dejection; the two show stoppers decided to wear as little as possible to get maximum attention; much -farting Mohan fled to the safe havens of the loo.. birds flew, the bees stung, the group dispersed; Ravi's day dreaming reached new levels as he watched his heart throb sway along the corridor.

Nitin, the the only one to pay some attention, had a chalk thrown at him by the irritated professor!
